That is an interesting argument, but I could not find information about someone contracting a disease from eating untreated produce. However, the World Health Organization says that 3 million people get sick and 220,000 die each year from pesticides. About fruits with peels, the EWG has tested non organic fruits and detected pesticides even within those fruits with outer peels (ie bananas). I think you're making the right choice to eat organic when you can! Thanks for comment, Angela!
